New YORK, Feb. l6, 1887,
The letter referred to must be a
forgery, as the editor of the TINES
never had any "minerals to exchange"
Up to about year ago he sent sew
eral lots of specimens to parties aud
societies whom he wished to oblige;
but he never accepted any remunera-
ton for such services, aud il he could
spare the time now, would willingly
continue in that good work.
But Mr.. Ostrand's letter reminds him
of the fact that quite demand exists
for mineral specimens; and that this
demand is likely to grow; that, there
fore, there is here an opening for 4
dealer in mineral cabinets such as has
flourished in Denver, Colorado, since
| 1865. These cabinets are about 2x4
inches, the inside being merely tha
of small box of that size. On the
outside are glued small specimens o
the various kinds of ore found il
Colorado, each specimen bearing /
number by which it can be identified
by referring to printed "k~y" o
card which gives brief descriptions OF
each numbered specimen. The cos
of these specimen cabinets is slight
being not over FIVE cents for the box
and about half accent for the printed
card or "key," while the minerals ar
secured for little or nothing; yet hun
dreds of cabinets are sold annually a

To rRE EprroR OF rHs TlAEs:-
You having kindly offered to pub
fish any statements l may desire to
make, concerning the charges that |
had made unauthorized changes in
the Revised Statutes while they were
under consideration by the Legisla-
ture, l herewith submit two docu-
ments which speak for themselves.
II the charges made against me
reached only those who are we'll &C
quainted with their author and myself,
should be quite willing to leave the
people of Alturas county to judge be.
tween us; but rs a talsehood, once
started, does not usually die with its
utterance, so this one has gone to
those who know me only by name.
When it was circulated in Boise
City that unauthorized changes had
been made in the statutes, a Join,
Committee was appointed to investi
gate. The FIRST paper accompanying
this is the certified copy of such com
mittee's report.
The other paper is statement fur
nlshed me by the members of the TIVE
Committees on Codification and Re
vision, who had charge of the Revise'
Statutes during all the time it i
alleged that such changes were made
/ The statements of the gentlemen
whose names are attached to thes
r papers are sufficient defense for me
